Just to answer some of Skidudes questions on the hood, the fibreglass bow piece fits on the top of the windscreen when it is up, when it is down the windscreen bow comes away from the windscreen and the hood is rolled back and stored at the back of the boot. (see pictures)


The doors are fixed to the windscreen posts using lift off hinges so the doors come off without needing to remove any screws as Paul suggested. Also one of the big differences I found and the main reason for designing the hood was that the doors make a hugh difference to the driving experience (for those of us that are not hardcore and like to feel the wind in our hair!!!)

As for your raised roll bar, we do not user the rollbar to support the hood we have a pram frame that lifts it about 3 inches above the standard roll bar so I would suggest you take a look at it in MK before writing it off from a height perspective. I'm 6"2' and we designed it to fit me and some more.

Yes, I believe they are the ones that MK are selling. Best thing is to call them and find out.

Do MK still sell these hoods?

Tried ringing, but guess what, no answer

Would you hand over your hard earned cash if they did?

Fair one

Probably not, unless it was face to face and I had the product in my hand

Never had wet weather gear myself. Got caught in a rainstorm once with my 5 yr old son and we both got a drenching. TBH there was no where to stop and try to erect said gear anyway so we'd have still got wet. Should have stopped in a fuel station and got undercover!
